Re: Digest Number 631/ Staci's back for a while!

[Guest guest]

Dearest friends,

I made it through my second year of my masters program and Christmas as a

new church director. Looking back, Last year I was hospitalized at least 4

times with pancreatitis. And have spent most of my year eating smoothies and

old peoples' food. Every time I break from this diet, I have problems again.

UGH! However, I am 2/3 of my way through my program.

Some of you know that I have been taking Lupron shots - They really help with

the monthly attacks of panc. but not the stress induced attacks. I am with a

new doctor, who has referred me yet to another digestive doctor - who knows.

Anyway, this doctor mentioned that pancreatic pain is on the left side and I

have always had pain on my right. Hmmm! This after 20 years of pain.

Anyone have any ideas?

I am very concerned about Shirley. Obviously by the posts, she had her

operation. I would really like to support her by sending her a card. How

could I do this? Does anyone have an address? She is a lovely woman who

supports many of us with her encouragement, and I would like to encourage her

now. Anyone with info. please write or email me at bandscoz@...

Thanks! And may the New Year bring you all much less pain and much hope for a

cure.

God bless you all,

Love,

Staci
